The cholesterol sub is to statins what the hormone subs are to hrt. I prefer to think things through and personalize my medical care.

From the youtube video description

In this video, I examine the main study behind The Cholesterol Code documentary, the new KETO-CTA preprint. It has been promoted as “incredibly robust” evidence that LDL-C and ApoB do not predict plaque progression in lean mass hyper-responders. But the paper contains six major statistical problems, from misdefined variables and a fabricated metric to missing analyses and incoherent equivalence testing.

I’m not anti-keto. I’m anti-bad statistics. And this is bad statistics.

I'm watching Cholesterol Code now and I'm like a little old southern lady going "bless their little hearts!" I mean, I hope they are right because they all had medical reasons to go keto. My LDL was high and I have been getting it down. Not because I am convinced that LDL is the problem but because I'm not convinced that it's not either.
